I was living in New York when this rape occurred. From the beginning the familes of the accused employed the ugliest tactics possible to demonize every white person in New York, while at the same time the "wilding" boys behaved like felons.

Thanks for jogging -- pardon the pun -- my memory. All I'd remembered for the longest, was how Yusef Salaam's mother's name magically changed, afer a few weeks, to "Salaam." I don't recall what she initially called herself.

I do not believe the new story. Somehow, some way, the DNA was switched. Check the chain of evidence, baby. Somebody sympathetic to the rapists tampered with it.

As far as I know, the evidence is clean. It was public knowledge since 1989, that the police had DNA evidence that didn't match any of the boys they had in custody. It was also known that another attacker was referred to by the boys as "Tony." What police only recently learned, however, is that "Tony" was Matias Reyes' street name.

Ok. I get ya. I haven't been following these new developments to the case in every detail.

So how are they excluding the possibility that Reyes didn't act in concert with the other guys?
